October Delights

Alas, a trip out of town and a bad cold and life in general got in the way of blogging, but I’m back now. :) After a couple weeks away from my garden I wasn’t sure what I would find when I went out there this morning. But wouldn’t you know, my garden is still producing amazing things!

Maybe the most amazing was a small number of delicious little Tri-Star strawberries. I gave that big one to my dad, who happens to be in town right now, and it happens to be his birthday. Happy birthday, dad!

But there were other great things to harvest today as well. I got almost a pound of string beans, and I think I’ll get a few more next week as well. And I harvested the last of my Corno Di Toro peppers:

I roasted them in the oven, but haven’t used them yet. Hmm, not sure what to do with them, but it’s never a bad idea to have delicious, sweet roasted peppers on hand.

As it gets colder out, I find I appreciate my garden’s produce even more. I should have chard and kale and arugula through November and maybe even into December. What a treat!
